PRESIDENT TINUBU CONDOLES WITH KADUNA DEPUTY GOVERNOR, DR. HADIZA BALARABE, OVER DEATH OF FATHER

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu extends his heartfelt condolences to the Deputy Governor of Kaduna State, Dr Hadiza Sabuwa Balarabe, on the passing of her father.

The President joins the Balarabe family, the government and people of Kaduna State, and all who knew the late patriarch in mourning this painful loss.

President Tinubu describes the death of a parent as one of life’s most profound sorrows, noting that no matter the age, the loss of a father leaves an irreplaceable void.

He pays tribute to the late father for raising a daughter who has distinguished herself in public service, medicine, and leadership, and whose dedication to the development of Kaduna State and Nigeria is a testament to the values of discipline, faith, and compassion her parents instilled in her.

The President prays that Almighty Allah will forgive the shortcomings of the deceased, grant him Al-Jannah Firdaus and comfort the family with the fortitude to bear the loss.

He also urges Dr Balarabe and the entire family to take solace in the worthy life her father lived and the enduring legacy he leaves behind in his children, community, and all those he touched.
